All consultants belong to a global group named TempWorkers.
You place three file servers in a new organizational unit named SecureServers. The three file servers contain confidential data located in shared folders.
You need to record any failed attempts made by the consultants to access the confidential data.
Which two actions should you perform?
(Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A. Create and link a new GPO to the SecureServers organizational unit. Configure the Deny access to this computer from the network user rights setting for the TempWorkers global group.
B. Create and link a new GPO to the SecureServers organizational unit. Configure the Audit privilege use Failure audit policy setting.
C. Create and link a new GPO to the SecureServers organizational unit. Configure the Audit object access Failure audit policy setting.
D. On each shared folder on the three file servers, add the three servers to the Auditing tab. Configure the Failed Full control setting in the Auditing Entry dialog box.
E. On each shared folder on the three file servers, add the TempWorkers global group to the Auditing tab. Configure the Failed Full control setting in the Auditing Entry dialog box.
Correct Answer: CE
Explanation/Reference:
Answer: On each shared folder on the three file servers, add the TempWorkers global group to the Auditing tab. Configure the Failed Full control setting in the Auditing Entry dialog box.
Create and link a new GPO to the SecureServers organizational unit. Configure the Audit object access Failure audit policy setting.

Audit object access
Description
This security setting determines whether to audit the event of a user accessing an object–for example, a file, folder, registry key, printer, and so forth–that has its own system access control list (SACL) specified.
If you define this policy setting, you can specify whether to audit successes, audit failures, or not audit the event type at all.
Success audits generate an audit entry when a user successfully accesses an object that has an appropriate SACL specified.
Failure audits generate an audit entry when a user unsuccessfully attempts to access an object that has a SACL specified.

Practically the same as J/Q5.

Auditing Resource Access
Object access can be audited, although it is not one of the recommended settings. Auditing object access can place a significant load on the servers, so it should only be enabled when it is specifically needed.
Auditing object access is a two-step process: Step one is enabling "Audit object access" and step two is selecting the objects to be audited. When enabling Audit object access, you need to decide if both failure and success events will be logged. The two options are as follows:
Audit object access failure enables you to see if users are attempting to access objects to which they have no rights. This shows unauthorized attempts.
Audit object access success enables you to see usage patterns. This shows misuse of privilege.
After object access auditing is enabled, you can easily monitor access to resources such as folders, files, and printers.
Auditing Files and Folders
The network administrator can tailor the way Windows Server 2008 R2 audits files and folders through the property pages for those files or folders. Keep in mind that the more files and folders that are audited, the more events that can be generated, which can increase administrative overhead and system resource requirements. Therefore, choose wisely which files and folders to audit. To audit a file or folder, do the following:
1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder to audit and select Properties.
2. Select the Security tab and then click the Advanced button.
3. In the Advanced Security Settings window, select the Auditing tab and click the Edit button.
4. Click the Add button to display the Select User or Group window.
5. Enter the name of the user or group to audit when accessing the file or folder. Click the Check Names button to verify the name.
